So What Do You Have On Dust Already?

So what do you have on Dust already?

The obvious spot in canon for a sandwing/nightwing hybrid is Thorn having more than one egg, so Sunny could have a sibling. Dune getting told she’d had one and being shown it and Six Ckaws the same and getting shown Dust’s egg in a separate location, as Thorn was being extra careful, would be a straightforward way to write in an origin point? There’s also the opportunity to easily justify Dust being an animus with an animus father that way too if it’s what you’re going for! Dust would then have a way to feasibly gain skills and contacts/companions if you wanted Dust to subsequently travel somewhere etc and not be a soldier in the succession crisis.

There’s no pressure with the above paragraph but I thought I may as well attempt to be helpful as design wise it looks like his mother was a sandwing (since there’s the whole hybrids taking heavily after the parent who laid them thing). Who knows it may be entirely off base but that’s why I’m curious if there is anything you have so far?

(also Dust with a sibling or parent, whoever you think they may be, or just a small hatchling dust, could be adorable if you wanted to make a drawing from this)

At your request, here's baby Dust taking a nap! (absolutely love how this turned out)

While that is indeed an interesting idea (seriously, I would love something like that), all of my OCs exist in a separate universe from the canon plots. This essentially means that none of the canon characters, past or present, exist in this universe. For example, in the universe I have created for my OCs, instead of Clearsight being the common ancestor for Hivewings, it is instead a group of Pyrrhian dragons (mostly Nightwings with a couple of others sprinkled in) that found Pantala. This "alternate universe" gives me more freedom to mold the story and world as much as I like.

And, to answer your question on what I have so far for Dust and his background. Dust is the child of Rattlesnake (Mother, Sandwing) and Sandstorm (Father, Nightwing/Sandwing hybrid). He is mostly Sandwing, which is why he doesn't really have much Nightwing traits beyond some darker coloring, his bright blue irises, and the star scales on his wings. As for backstory and such, all I know for sure is that, for some reason I haven't decided yet, Dust despises his mother. I also know that he is currently a traveler, wandering between the kingdoms of Pyrrhia and doing odd jobs to make ends meet.

If you’re interested then I think Danaid (the flamesilk from arc 3 who helps Blue and Luna) or Osprey could be cool, but I don’t know how you find drawing more elderly dragons so if you’re not interested in doing either of them that’s okay!

I decided to do Danaid

I honestly don't remember much about her, but reading her wiki page made me wish I did. She sounds pretty cool, even for a background character that only appears in one book. I also absolutely loved her colors and design.

Hope you enjoy 😊

I have sent two asks already, but I have now discovered your Olive. May you show us how you draw her? I like how pretty she is whilst staying rather green to match the jungle, so thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask!

Here's Olive!

This is actually the first piece of art I've made for her, and it turned out just how I imagined it. Random fact, she's siblings with another of my favorite OCs, Cobra. I'll probably post some kind of art of him as well at some point. Hope you enjoy this piece!

okay okay one more? 😂

My ice/mud, Taper (she/her)

OR

I also have a sea/night hybrid -- Ravine (she/they) who has no real art or bases yet (other than thatfoxdog)

Okey-dokey, here's Ravine!

I tried my best to translate their reference into a wings of fire design, and I think I did pretty well. I hope you enjoy!

hi!!! this is my boy Loggerhead. He’s a very silly guy and works at the royal seawing library :33

Here he is!

Random little thing, I love his turtle earring. It's very cute.

Hope you enjoy :)

:]

Here we go finally finished a drawing some OCs requested by @dawnxd

I decided to draw all three of them.

Dust is really pretty and I quite like their design.

I also really like Zenith's like the different scale colours, the patches, it's so visually pleasing to look at

And Olive, I really like Rainwings in general, but also her colours are really nice.

Hope you like them.
